The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...
Mechanical metamaterials with zero Poisson’s ratio (ZPR) offer unique advantages in applications requiring dimensional stability under large deformations. Here we present a three-dimensional, large ...
With the growing demand for durable and lightweight materials in structural engineering, the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites (PMC) have become critical for the design and ...
